STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM)
, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, will be showcasing its industry-leading products and solutions for IoT (Internet of Things) and Smart Driving at Mobile World Congress Shanghai,
June 28 – 30, 2017.

China is becoming a global leader in adopting the IoT and is firmly establishing itself as the global manufacturing hub for smart technologies. According to Technavios analysts, the IoT market in China is poised to grow at a CAGR of about 19% during the period 2016-2020[1]. Supporting this trend, ST offers a wealth of products and solutions that help make everything smarter, from smartphones to IoT-connected devices in homes, cities, and factories, to the technologies that make driving safer, greener, and more connected.

The IoT Experience Zone exhibits include a robot from Taiwan equipped with the VL53L0 Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensor for obstacle avoidance; a toy robot with ST’s LSM6DS3 motion sensor for self-balance; a voice-recognition and control solution and other interesting applicationsbased on ST’s SensorTile IoT development kit; a Smart-Home gateway containing the M24SR02 dynamic NFC tag; a smart water tap demo with the VL53L0 ranging sensor; and a smart switch enabled by ST’s Bluetooth® low power (BLE) network processor (BlueNRG-MS).

Other ST demonstrations at MWC Shanghai 2017 include:

The Bluecoin development board with augmented hearing, ToF, and motion-sensing capabilities; the STEVAL_WESU1 wearable-products development platform consisting of various sensors and BLE devices; the X-Nucleo-IKS01A2 expansion board with motion, pressure, and temperature sensors.

The Nucleo expansion board with the Bluetooth 4.1-compliant BLE network processor (BlueNRG-MS); the BlueNRG-1 SoC-based TV controller with voice recognition; and the BlueNRG-1-based evaluation board with a motion and a pressure sensor.

ST’s new digital TX controller for wireless battery chargers provides full compatibility with the new Qi® 1.2.3 standard and extends the transmittable power to 15W. It performs all the essential functions for transferring power with the Qi Extended Power Profile: beyond the detection of a valid receiver, and the power control, it also supports extended Foreign Object Detection (FOD) through bi-directional communication with the RX.

1W plug-and-play wireless battery charger demo designed for ultra-compact battery-operated devices, including wearables, smart watches, IoT sensors, and healthcare devices. The design is optimized for 1W wireless power transfer with a half-bridge topology on the transmitter side and with tiny 11 mm and 20 mm coils on the receiver and transmitter sides, respectively.
